IT'S ABSOLUTELY FALSE THAT GFDL HAS A PRINCIPAL
AUTHOR CLAUSE.
This clause only refers to a title page. READ THE LICENSE PLEASE.
Wikipedia hasn't such a thing.
I've already explained our position on this issue in the prior thread
on the topic; we do not share the interpretation that the change
tracking obligations in the GFDL are relevant to the attribution terms
we use under CC-BY-SA; we do believe that the principal authors
requirement and the established practices regarding re-use under the
GFDL are relevant.
The attribution issue is so divisive, however, that I increasingly
wonder whether it wouldn't be sensible to add at least a set of
preferences to the licensing vote to better understand what people's
preferred implementation would look like, within the scope of what we
consider to be legally defensible parameters.
